Who We Are

In 2010, Haiti was struck by a devastating 7.0 magnitude earthquake. Already suffering from severe poverty, many Haitians became more vulnerable than ever. This was especially the case for the swelling numbers of abandoned, orphaned and domestically enslaved children and youth left to fend for themselves in the ensuing chaos.

In response, D2C was established (2012) to provide a stable Family Home for a group of orphaned and abandoned children. The Family Home focuses on the children’s education and empowerment. D2C also created community education programs that provide many local youth with the skills needed to strengthen their financial independence and break the cycle of extreme poverty.
